Philippians 4:8 says..."Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." This blog is my place to focus on those things in my everyday life.

Why is this hard for me?

I haven't posted as much as I would like, mainly because it has always been very hard for me to talk about myself. That is why you will mostly see photos here... because I am visual, and because then I don't have to say so much. Everytime I get ready to post, or think of something to post, I don't, because I am afraid that people don't want to hear about me or my life. But that is what a blog is about after all and I need to remember why I am here... lovely things... So I shall keep trying. If you don't like it, don't read it ;) (Or, if you are like me, just look at the pictures.)That said, here are some lovely things I have been saving up and feeling too shy to share.Balloon Festival in a local town.

Home made strawberry jam. YUMMMMMM!

What my hubby wanted for Father's Day. They floated around like this for over an hour.

The first zinnia bud of the year. I LOVE zinnias.

The Lilies in my "secret garden." ( I will post more secret garden pictures another day. Still working on that area.)

You could post about the water balloon fight and the balloons that Curt threw back a the girls rolling off the deck and hitting him. Or about Abi yesterday at the zoo pretending to be a rhinoceros and poking you in the butt with her horn. Or about the 20 gazillion other cool things about your life everyday - the projects, the school, the hilarious things those babies say. We WANT to hear about it. Even if I already do. I want to hear about it. And see it. I promise some day I will teach you about the magic of flickr.

Why lovely things?

Because we live in a fallen world full of ugly and nasty things that zap our strength and courage and hope we need to find the good and lovely things and focus on them. This blog will share the lovely things I find in my everyday life with the hope of encouraging others to do the same.
